To help students face today's challenging
business environment with a fundamental knowledge of data analysis,
Audimation provides college and university instructors with
a complimentary package of IDEA Data
Analysis Software and classroom materials. Why use IDEA in the classroom?
According to Marcia Weidenmier at Texas Christian University, "Using IDEA as
a project provides students with an opportunity for a 'complete picture' class.
Students not only learn about but also have practical experience with
a manual accounting system, an automated accounting system, and tools to audit
those accounting systems. IDEA helps students understand the audit process
by giving students the opportunity to try to examine 'real data'."
What
do I get?
The following items are provided in the educational
package:
-

includes all of the data analysis features found in the full version
of the IDEA software but
